<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael was staring at her in amazement...and well horror. <span style='color:red'>"We're gonna die getting knocked out by the shower head, I'm staying out of this kiddo,"</span> He put his hands up in surrender, grabbing the clean dress and tossing it over in her direction before he covered his eyes with his right hand and backed up into the kitchen where he closed the doors just incase.</span>
Ramya just giggled soflty and caught her dress and set it at her knees and began to fiddle with the lock again. There was a soft click, stating that the door was now unlocked and she tossed the bobby pin onto her suitcase and stood up. She slung the dress over her shoulder and quietly opened the door and tip-toed into the bathroom. She slowly crept over to the procelian god of cold showers, the toilet. She smiled and looked to the shower curtain, a femme dragon behind it not knowing a thing. <span style='color:gray'>"Hey Joo-Eun...I hope you like cold showers!"</span> Instantly Ramya flushed the toilet and burst out of the bathroom, laughter erupting from her and darted under her bed and laid there, holding back the last of the fits of laughter that threatened to erupt from her. She clasped her small paws over her muzzle and clenched her eyes shut and bit her lips.
<span style='font-family:arial'> It was all fine, Joo-eun had managed to get the sticky liquid off. But had decided to continue lingering under the warm water until- A scream, something Joo-Eun, cold. <span style='color:green'>"Huh? AISH, FAWK! STUPID LITTLE BRAT !"</span> Joo-eun shrieked as cold water came blasting out at her, tumbling through the shower, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body and stormed out...definately furious. <span style='color:green'>"STUPID KID WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOUR SCRAWNY LITTLE NECK I'M GONNA STraNGLE YOU SENSELESS!"</span> She was fuming, Kael winced from the kitchen, she was definately gonna go back now. Well after she killed every living thing in sight.</span>
Ramya just simply grinned wickedly as she saw and heard Joo-Eun storm out of the shower, but stayed hidden under the bed. She cuddled her side sudenlly, used to Laka being there. Her eyes widened as she remembered he was on top of her bed, the bed she was under. She looked sympathetically up at the bottom of the bed and bit her lips. She darted out from under the bed and jumped ontop of it and latched onto Laka. That was when she realized her mistake, she was in plain view of Joo-Eun...and she knew Joo-Eun had seen her. <span style='color:gray'>"Umm....Hi...wrinkly ass."</span> Ramya laughed and darted past Joo-Eun as fast as she could towards the kitchen, it was the first safe place she thought of.
<span style='font-family:arial'> Joo-Eun...was unbelievably frustrated by now. She was caught between ripping the twerp in bits and just leaving and staying in the calm environment of Kage Jr. Oh boy did she miss his quiet...ness. Kael's eyes widened when the door flung open, <span style='color:red'>"RAMYA! Do you want me to die ?!"</span> He sent a panicked glance toward the girl outisde the door and his jaw dropped, and then he just grinned like an idiot...a dazed idiot. She was so cute when she was mad...and wet and wrapped with a towel....HIS towel...at that moment he just wanted to... Pinch her cheeks senseless. <span style='color:green'>"YAH!"</span> She barked. No cute things don't bark...well puppies do, but they don't bark like that. Kael stared at Joo-Eun who was pointing a finger at him, <span style='color:green'>"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HER!"</span> Kael just tried using an apple as defense, but she did what he DIDN'T expect, she just grabbed what she was wearing earlier when she had arrived. Ripped jeans, and a white shirt. She ran into the washroom, changed...almost 5 seconds later and came storming back out...and then left with the sound of her shrieking down the hallway...probably scaring some students and the door slamming behind her. <span style='color:red'>"That...was...interesting."</span> He finally muttered after the sound of the door slamming made him jump, his mood seemed to drop just a tad bit. <span style='color:red'>'Atleast this time...we lasted atleast 12 hours without fighting...somewhat.'</span> Maybe Kage would try talking to her for him, but he doubted. It wasn't as if Kage owed him anything. <span style='color:red'>"Why...did you exactly poor soda on her?"</span> He held back a sigh, and smiled weakly at Ramya.</span>
Ramya's ears went back and she bit her lip, her hands fiddling with each other in front of her as she stood next to him. <span style='color:gray'>"She said exactly this...Get over it you brat, she probably hid it from you because she cared about you, she was probably thinking of the best way to break it to you, so stop being such an idiot about it. Instead of yelling and screaming at her...I poured a soda all over her."</span> She had an excellent memory, but that didn't make her feel better, so Ramya hung her head down. She felt terrible for making Joo-Eun get mad at Kael and in turn making Kael sad. <span style='color:gray'>"I'll go take a shower now."</span> She bit her lip again and walked out of the kitchen, towards her bed.
<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael just shook his head. It was just Joo-Eun's way of...being nice, as rude as it seemed. He felt that he should tell Ramya that, but the little girl was upset as it was so he kept his mouth shut, decided to mention it later...it was hard deciphering the way Joo-Eun acted.</span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya quickly took a shower and came out in another one of her pure white, plain dresses, her bell chocker once more around her neck. She walked slowly into the kitchen and came up to Kael, it was barely obvious that she had been crying softly earlier. She suddenlly hugged Kael and a sniffle escaped her.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"Kael...I'm sorry for being a pain...and a brat."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She looked up to him and hugged him tighter and flashed a fake smile and sudenlly climbed up onto his lap and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him once more. She didn't want him to be angry or upset, he was a big brother to her.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael simply smiled and wrapped his arms around her little frame, from a distance it would seem like a father and his baby 'dragon...and in a way Kael guessed it was like that, he was taking on the male security figure in her life at the moment right? <span style='color:red'>"Yah, it's okay, that honestly wasn't even a fight compared to mine and her typical routine. She's not mad, she'll be over it,"</span> and what he said was partially true, that wasn't big compared to their usual fights, but for the she'll be over it, he wasn't quite sure, he guess that she would EVENTUALLY but not right away.</span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya smiled and nodded her okay and hugged him tightly once more and pecked a kiss onto his cheek real quick and jumped down. <span style='color:gray'>"I'm gonna organize my things. Would you mind helping?</span> Ramya looked back to him, a tiny smile on her maw and she rushed out into the other room. She jumped onto her suitcases and threw them onto the bed, clicking them open. She began to toss books out onto her bed until all of them layed on her bed. She turned away and began to look at them, finding out what they were. What she didn't know though was the picture laying in the bottom of her suitcase. It was a simple polaroid picture, you could see Ramya there smack dab in the middle next to her sister, but in the back were two older 'dragons, both of them quadroped's, just like Tsuki. The male had a pure white coat like like Tsuki's and the female was shorter but with a black coat, with black hair, she was the one with the white wings though. Ramya seemed to be almost cast out in the picture though she stood there next to her sister. It seemed Tsuki was the only one that noticed her, but the older 'dragons, her parents. She just didn't seem to exsist to them.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael nodded and followed after her, with a slightl sway in his way....laziness. He noticed that she was already at work, so he was leaning over to help her out, he was trying to...clean the books up, organize them a bit, when a picture caught his eye, without asking he grabbed it and stared at it. By the looks of it, it was obviously a family picture, He stared at Ramya's small figure between them all, <span style='color:red'>'I suppose...I am the father figure...if that's the excuse of a father she has,'</span> Well he wasn't realling judging...okay well he was, but it seemed painfully obvious that the father wasn't paying attention to her, nor the mother. But then again...it was just a picture, and he didn't really get much from Ramya, He tossed it in her hands before carrying the books over to a shelf, placing them in, <span style='color:red'>"They don't seem so friendly...or maybe it's just me hm?"</span></span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya caught the photo carefully and stared at it, emotion slipping from her face, making her look like a clean slated person. She sudenlly showed a fury of anger and was ready to tear the picture in half but stopped. Her gaze slowly looked up and over towards Kael.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"They never are....That's my father, Arkimede. And that there is my mother, Marilla. I never seemed to exist to them...my sissy noticed me though. She was always there for me, taking care of me from when I was born until I had to leave for school."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya smiled and laughed softly, though forcefully. She had finally told someone, and it felt harder than she thought. But at the same time it felt good to let someone else know besides her sister. Ramya set down the photo ontop of her pillow and pulled out some of her clothes and folded them softly, though at a point she stopped. She finally noticed that her hands had been shaking and she felt her jaw trembling. She could feel the wave of emotion coming as she remembered her parents and their hatred of her.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael continued placing the books neatly on the shelf, suddenly grinning, <span style='color:red'>"Yah, don't worry about it. You have your sister and me, and Joo-Eun too, although she would deny it and you won't believe it. Lemme tell you something, a bit of something actually. Because she'll kill me if I tell you the whole story. But Joo-Eun never got along with her mother, instead of ignoring, it was verbal and sometimes physical fighting. It makes you think, wonder how she's still completely sane after that at such a small age, but it goes to show that you can make it too,"</span> He grabbed his wallet from the table and fiddled through it before getting what he wanted, Tossing it into Ramya's lap was a wallet size picture of an 9 year old Joo-Eun, obviously Kael didn't know Joo-Eun at the time, but with much effort he had managed to get her to give him that.</span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya stared at the picture as it landed on her lap and cocked her head to the side, carefully picking it up as she set down her family photo. She looked carefully at the photo of the young Joo-Eun and seemed to see a different person.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"She looks so...so innocent. As if nothing could hurt her, yet she would break under the slightest weight. And...and her eyes...it's as if they hold back so much emotion that...that no one sees."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>Her gaze went back to Kael and smiled softly. She was glad she had met Kael...or else she would feel utterly different right then, no matter where she was. She looked down to the photo of the young Joo-Eun and she felt like she could see herself in her soo easily, but she shook her head and closed her eyes.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> Kael just grinned, <span style='color:red'>"Yah, she's one tough kid, a lot like you Ramya."</span> He took the picture back carefully and placed it back into his wallet, right behind an older picture of Joo-Eun and him together. The air was getting too suffocating so he did the first thing that came up in his head, jumpingon the bed and grabbing her shoulders, <span style='color:red'>"YAH DON'T BE SO PESSISMISTIC, Cheer up!"</span> He stuck out his tongue, messing up her hair in the process. It was slightly...random but anything to clear the atmosphere.</span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya squealed as Kael jumped onto the bed and then ruffled her hair. She giggled and stuck her tongue back out at him. She snapped out at his hand on her shoulder and nipped the skin and jumped away and off the bed. She landed neatly onto the ground.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"Fine...then do you want to see what I can do and what I'm studying?</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>A grin spread across her tiny maw and she smiled as she cuddled her Laka, hoping that Kael would say yes.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> Something didn't seem right, but always the curious one, <span style='color:red'>"Yep,"</span> And they did say curiousity killed the cat...but he wasn't a cat, so he didn't care.</span> OOC; I don't think there's cats on RAL? so that wouldn't make sense, just rewrite it in your head with some other animal on raL =p
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Her grin got even bigger and she walked over to the window, sliding it up and open. She reached out as far as she could and snapped off a good sized branch off the tree. She made sure that the branch had a good amount of leaves. She nodded an okay at the branch and closed the window as she laid it on the ground. Ramya set down her precious Laka and closed her eyes, her arms limp by her sides. A soft humming tune came from Ramya and her eyes snapped up, the black specks in her lavender eyes now swirling around the edges of her eyes. Suddenly the branch snapped straight upwards, standing on its end and two smaller branches on its sides came out like arms and rested on it's sides. A small giggle came from Ramya as she raised a hand to her mouth, the branch following exactly in motion. Ramya looked to Kael and smiled.</span> <span style='color:grey'>"I study in Biokenesis and Aerokenesis. Plants...insects...and air. I can manipulate those all with my mind."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>Her smile broadened, she was very proud of herself and her trades. She was mastering them quiet quickly. She practiced and studied in her spare time.</span></span>
<span style='font-family:arial'> <span style='color:red'>"Biokenesis and Aerokenesis eh? Cool min,"</span> He grinned and grabbed his lighter, something simple he felt like doing...just manipulating. Oh yes he loved manipulating, everything around him, Turning on the lighter, the small light flickered and as soon as Kael closed his eyes, the flames split into 5 seperate sections flailing out toward Ramya...then stopped as soon as it reached within a few centimetres of the young thill. <span style='color:red'>"Pyrokenesis,"</span> He was also majoring in Seduction..but that wasn't exactly what he wanted to tell Ramya. And he more like..self taught it, which sounded awkward, Joo-Eun knew about it, and he was pretty sure his teachers and his brother knew. But he wasn't taking classes because that would definately put a weird atmosphere around him. <span style='color:red'>"My brother majors in Cyrokenesis and Songwriting while Joo-Eun majors in Cosmetics and Telekenesis. Now that I think about it, my old group and us all practiced some form of manipulation of some sort."</span></span>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:FFFF99'>Ramya squeaked slightly as the tendrils of fire came towards her and sudenlly the air around her swirled and snuffed out the flame from the lighter and she smiled softly.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"Well...now you have one more manipulator. Hehe."</span> <span style='color:FFFF99'>She went forward as the branch fell to the ground and she went back to the window, throwing it outside. She turned back towards Kael and cocked her head to the side.</span> <span style='color:gray'>"Kael...what was it like in your old group?"</span></span>
